Because of COVID-19 restrictions, many aspects of science classes are different this year. One major change in the curriculum is the lack of interactive labs. The decision to restrict these hands-on activities stemmed from the goal of keeping students safe while they attended school in-person.“It was just too complicated figuring out how to have students share chemicals, share balances, and there’s a lot of different glassware and collaboration that goes on, so people would be really close and there’d be a lot of contact,” chemistry teacher Jennifer McGuinn said.

Since it would not be safe to conduct all Spirit Day events in person, the WHS Student Council worked out a way to still hold a fun yet safe Spirit Day: virtually. Students had mixed reactions to this plan, but most students were happy they got to have any sort of event. “I’m thankful that we could at least have a Spirit Day in general,” freshman Mia Mee said.

Due to COVID-19 cancelling many fundraisers in the final months of the 2019-2020 school year, the WHS class of 2022 lost significant funding for their prom. In order to make up for this loss, the junior class will be selling pre-portioned cookie dough for $20. “This fundraiser and any that we carry out this year is to make up for those lost opportunities,” Zhao said.

COVID-19 has cancelled many of Wayland's normal activities such as school dances and sports game, but the student council did not let the pandemic take away the WHS tradition of Spirit Day and the activities during the week leading up to the event. Unlike this picture from two years ago, Spirit Day will be fully remote this year. “It's going to be similar in spirit but very different in execution,” Student Council Vice President Porter Moody said.
